Verdict
RACE TO GLORY's latest second in a handicap at Newmarket is the best piece of form on offer in this and he can go one better with stamina proven. Le Maitre Chat has more scope than Hamilton third Dolce N Karama and is probably the danger if he lasts home as Guard Of Honour may need more time. Exton finished tailed off on his debut over 1m at Nottingham in June and is unlikely to do much better here on that evidence.
